Hello friends, and Happy New Year! 🎉
If you’re like me, you can never have too many birthday cards in your stash. To kick off the year creatively, I decided to fix that by making some Easy DIY Birthday Cards with Minimal Supplies. These cards are not only vibrant and cheerful but also super simple to create!
For today’s projects, I’m showcasing Bibi Cameron's new Intense Liquid Colors, Sparkle Bases, and Stackable Stamps. These tools made the process a breeze! You can check out my IG Reel HERE to see how these colorful creations came together.
CARD RECIPE
Basic Supplies:
- Watercolor Paper - I used Strathmore Bristol paper
- Paper Trimmer
- Brushes
- Sequins
- Micron Pen
- Paint palette
- Water for cleaning brushes (2 vessels - one for dirty water and clean water)
- Black Ink
- Glue
- Black Card Stock is used as a card panel to create the background frame
- Card Bases
Here are some close-ups of the cards I made. Don’t mind the little sequin that slid off the first candle—it’s fixed now, haha! Each card is bursting with bright, happy colors and minimal fuss. Perfect for any birthday celebration.
Tips & Tricks
- Layering with Sparkle: The Sparkle Base adds a subtle shimmer that brings the designs to life. Perfect for birthday celebrations!
- Mix & Match Stamps: The stackable stamp sets are incredibly versatile. Use them to customize each card with unique sentiments. I forgot to take a photo of the back with the personalized stamp and logo. Make sure to watch the video for that!
- Frame It Up: Adding a black cardstock frame helps make the colors pop against the white base.
If you’re looking for a creative way to stock up on birthday cards or just want to play with some bold, fun supplies, give these a try! I hope this inspires you to dive into your crafting stash and start creating.
Happy crafting, and here’s to a colorful and creative year ahead!
